The
Village of Anmore,
incorporated on December 7th, 1987, is a semi-rural residential community
situated North of Port Moody in the Northeast Sector of Metro Vancouver
Regional District. The current population is approximately 1800 and has
been growing steadily since incorporation. Buntzen Lake Reservoir Recreation
area operated by B.C. Hydro lies within the Village's Boundaries. This
Recreation Area attracts numerous visitors throughout the year with a number of
hiking, biking and horse trails scattered throughout the park, and it is a
favourite spot for picnics, swimming, canoeing and fishing. There is an Elementary School in
Anmore which also houses a preschool. High School students attend Moody
Middle School and Heritage Woods Secondary School. The Schools are
serviced by School Buses and is approximately a 20 minute drive from the
Village. A local shopping centre is located at the intersection of
Heritage Mountain boulevard and Ioco Road in Port Moody and the large regional
shopping centre, Coquitlam Centre, is within a fifteen minute drive.
Hospital facilities are located at Eagle Ridge Hospital on Guildford Way in Port
Moody and includes 24-hour emergency service. The Village provides minimal
services to its residents such as road maintenance, water, garbage and
recycling collection. Sewer is the responsibility of the individual land
owners who are required to provide septic tank disposal fields.
Electricity is supplied by B.C. Hydro, telephone by Telus, and the area is also
serviced by cable vision (Shaw) and natural gas (Terasen Gas). Fire
protection is provided by the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department (S.V.F.D) which
is a Metro Vancouver function shared jointly with our neighbouring
municipality, Village of Belcarra. There are no recreational
facilities owned or operated by the municipality, however, the Village boasts
about the excellent services provided by volunteers of the community which
includes the S.V.F.D. Due to the number of residents who volunteer their
time for community events, the Village hosts a number of events for all
residents to take part and enjoy. Some of these events include Ma Murray
Heritage Day in September and a Children's Christmas Party.
